Fucshia 'Blush-o-Dawn'

Its like a little ballerina, very pretty....

Thank you. It stole my heart. I just wish I had gotten two rather than the mismatch pair. I love this mild manner.

thats a really lovely one ~ have you seen holly's beauty?

Lovely :)))

Thank you, Sticki. I haven't, I'll go check it out, such performers! :-)

Michaella! Thank you so much. I'm trusting summer has been well, things are looking lovely.

i found it hard to photograph ~ its not unlike blush-o-dawn
but i found this picture:

Ooo, it is much like that. The same varieties of fucshia come with different common names from here to there I've noticed. Strange but seems so. They may be the same, though mine seems to have so much more ruffling on the inner petals, like swingtime, just bigger and more.

I also think holly has bluer under petals [dont know the correct term] than yours.

These start blue and fade out to light pink. In fact, most of the blues found in fucshia is present only on the fresh petals and fades out. They could very well be the same......lol......i couldn't think what to call the inner petals either.

ah, these do similar, i will try to take a photo tomorrow; they seem to resist photos!!! such a shame cos they are so delicate and lovely.

Getting them in the same distance from the lens, that is the trick. And getting the focus where you want. I've been using my hand next to the bloom to focus the lens, then remove the hand, keeping focus and taking the shot. I've gotten much more success out of my close ups focusing on the right thing.

they're nice - does look like it has little dress on

worth a try ~ thanks GT

wow shes lovely..:-)

Little ballerinas, Such lovelies! Thank you! I love these extra ruffly big ones best, just so flashy....lol
